The people in the UK who slag off US food

Hah! I believe the British are renowned the world around for their terrible cuisine. Not to say that there aren't good things to be eaten in the UK (heck, there's a US reality TV show starring Gordon Ramsay, so we apparently have to import Brits for food -- or maybe just vitriol) but it seems the majority of it is imported from other cuisines. You don't see much boiled meat on the menus of good restaurants.

I am always shocked by how salty the fast food and food in some diners is in the US.

I agree with you, actually. Most chain places seem to really oversalt food. I imagine that it's to cover up the freezer burn resulting from cross-country food shipments.
